That Mr. Nichols, who for four years held a position of responsibility and honor on our' Varsity nine, should have decided not to play this year is much to be regretted. Those who were in college two years ago can never forget the unparalleled record which was made by our nine then, and moreover, they can never think of that season without remembering how great was Mr. Nichols' share in bringing about its measure of success. The combination of accidents which made his work less effective a year ago has done nothing to lessen the popular confidence which...
...could be no doubt about the winner. Although Mr. Stevens of Columbia won first place in New York last year with a vault of 10 feet 3-4 inches, he did not do well in the games this winter. Yale and Harvard have both men who have broken the record made by Mr. Stevens and it would seem that he would have difficulty in winning again this year...
With reference to the ancients, we know very little of the real performances of their athletes It is only very occasionally that any of the classical historians relate details, and some of these are obviously incorrect.

There is no doubt thert use enabled them to jump...
...such good work on Saturday and won the initial game of the season. The energy which the captain of the team has displayed is worthy of commendation. If his men will take him as their example and labor for success with the same determination '90 will make a record at baseball which will equal, perhaps, that made by the graduating class of last June. For the present, close attention to the work in hand will accomplish wonders. Every man on the nine should see to it that the lazy ones receive the full strength of the odium which is their...
...Brown freshmen scalped the Harvard freshmen last year, frighted the Yale freshmen out of playing them and expect to be able to repeat their record this season. They will play the Harvard freshmen at Cambridge May 18. The nine has recently received its uniforms, which consist of gray trunks with brown trimmings, and white tunics with brown trimmings and adjustable sleeves of the same color. On the bosom of the tunics is the class number, while the caps are white with brown stripes of circular form. The positions on the nine have been assigned as follows: Hawthorn, catcher; McKenzie, pitcher...
